I am now 11 twelves!!!

For my 11/12 birthday mommy let me air dry after my bath! I love being in the nude. I did lots of things...


I read books

I pulled all my toys off my bookshelf...
And I even played the piano!
This does not happen very often, so I made the most out of this freedom.

Now that I am 11/12 I am very big. I am sometimes standing without holding on to anything, and mommy thinks I will be taking my first steps any day now. I love to play with books, and I always like to be making some kind of noise while I am playing. I am eating almost all grown up foods now (even though I still don't have any teeth!) who needs those anyway, my gums are very sharp. I love to Laugh just as my name says. I also like to crawl at break neck speed toward anything that mommy accidentally leaves out that I'm not supposed to play with. I play hard all day long. Besides my naps I am always going going going...

Stay tuned for more:) Maybe i'll get a tooth or be walking soon:)

Uh Oh

My new favorite phrase is Uh Oh, but of course I try not to say if for mom's gray box. I did say it a couple of times if you listen carefully.

Can we go Camping Please?

I love to play with this flashlight, I found it in the cupboard that mommy is letting me play in:) I think I am ready to go camping.

Reunion

Yesterday I finally got together with all my friends! I had missed them all so much! Nolan can sit up now and roll around everywhere and Johnathan and Josiah can even walk! We had such a great time!


We played for two hours, and none of us got fussy! Mommy we LOVE our play dates.
(almost got all four in this one:)

So TIRED!

Man, that trip to Iowa really wore me out! I was stretching and my biscuit got stuck in my hair and I didn't even care...I'm so tired... PS. When I get really tired, I just crack myself up!

Thank you!

When we got back from Iowa Aunt Cindy and Nicole and Jennifer came over to give me some toys!! I was so excited I love my toys but I loved playing with my cousins the best. They are as hyper as me!! I got that new piano and the table and chairs in the background. I like to have my snacks there now.




Nicole played hide and seek with me in my cupboard, It took me awhile to find her, but I think I will be able to hide like that soon.

Last Iowa Blog

Some of you may be confused, We are not actually in Iowa any more, we got back last Wed. it has just taken mommy that long to help me post all the pictures from the trip. Here are some we forgot to post .



I LOVE to take off mommy's head band!


My favorite toy is a person. All you need to do is lay on the floor, and you will be my new jungle gym!


Attack!!!!


I would much rather be attacking someone right now, but people always force me to pose for these pictures:)

Missouri Botanical Gardens

After the Great weekend we had in Dubuque, we drove down to St. Louis with Auntie Val and Uncle Todd. We visited the botanical gardens there, and would definitely recommend them to anyone visit St. Louis. It was beautiful.

Here is a water fall that is INSIDE one of the buildings!

This is Todd, Val, and Pumba...Also, notice how wet we all are. It was pouring rain when we got there and had to run through the rain to get to the Rainforest Dome. I loved it, I hardly ever get to see rain in Zona.




This is part of the Japanese Garden, I really wanted to get in the water and catch those fish that were in there.


Yes! I get to be in the water!

Bye Bye:(

We finished our trip to Dubuque with a fun dinner on the town. We took up an entire room!



Thank you so much Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, I had so much fun getting to know all of my relatives...Can't wait to do it again:)

Tour Stops

We stopped along the way during our Trolley Tour, and got to see some pretty amazing things. Here we are at the Dubuque Botanical Gardens



I Love to have my feet in the water!


We visited Eagle Point Park, and got to look over the great Mississippi and watch a Lock and Dam. All those people down there...I'm related to! Isn't that awesome
Here is me, daddy, and Brooke and Britney
You should know these good looking people by now:)

The Trolley Ride

One of the best things about the trip to Dubuque was the Trolley Ride! Our whole family filled it to the brim, and Great Grandpa talked while we went on our tour.It was a long tour so I was able to play with many people here is me and my cousin Kira.
Here I am sleeping...Playing with a huge family all day is tiring! Don't forget to check out my belly!




Don't worry, I'm ready to go again now...



Uncle Eric...Let me crawl, i've been in this thing for four hours!

Four Generations

This is our four generation picture, Dad has his eyes closed, but at least I'm cute! Four generations of Haberkorn's... The name lives on!














Here's a family pic:)

I'm related to all those people!

While we were in Iowa we had a Haberkorn Family reunion in Dubuque! I never knew I had so many relatives!

This is a picture of all the grandkids and me the one great grandchild (well, besides Pumba who is in Auntie Val's Belly)


These are the two who started it all! Happy 55th Wedding anniversary!


This is a Picture with my great-grandparents and their SEVEN children. My grandpa is in there in the back row:)


This is just our immediate family Grandma, grandpa Uncle Eric, Todd and Auntie Val and us. Aren't we a good looking family?
There was even way more people than that, who I am related to...It was such a fun time.

(by the way, that is the Great Mississippi in the background)

I'll walk Buddy

buddy and I both like to go on walks, so I got to take him on some!


This way buddy!
Let's rest awhile so I can suck on this.
Where's Buddy?!?!?

Pumba's Stroller

Aunty Val took me on a walk using my first cousin's stroller. My cousin is in Val's belly and right now we call the baby Pumba. I did LOVE the walk. Grandpa took me on a run in that thing. As long as the sun wasn't in my eyes I had a great time!

My First Rock Concert

I LOVED my first Rock Concert! Listen Carefully and you can here me singing along with Stellar Kart.

More Concert Pics

Swimming

While mommy and daddy were on their date, I got to play with Aunty Val and Grandma in the pool. I had such a great time. Thanks for taking care of me.
